Can this reprogram vehicle computers?

Will this work on vehicles that cannot start or crank?
No.  OBD2 scanners need a vehicle that can start or crank, as they operate by communicating with the vehicle's Electronic Control Units (ECUs). If the vehicle can't start, the scanner won't be able to establish communication with the ECU and the scanner will not work. So your vehicle must be able to start or crank to use any obd2 scanner.
